CLIMB SUMMARY

La Vuelta A España

Stage 13 (mountain stage #4)

There are 4 stages that could each be considered the toughest back-to-back days in pro cycling this year:

The day starts on a category 3 climb, the Col du Pourtalet, where the riders cross into France. What comes next is a loop the Tour de France has done dozens of times: attacking Tourmalet from the west by means of the iconic Pyrenean climbs, the Aubisque and Spandelles.

Did the Vuelta get inspiration from 2022 TdF’s Stage 18? 🤔

Tourmalet is often described as one of the best bike climbs in the world

The Tourmalet and Aubisque are HC climbs in this stage. In the Vuelta a España, Hors Categorie climbs are called “ESP”, or “Especial” - designating that the climb is so hard that it’s above categorization.

Col du Tourmalet was also in Stage 5 of this year’s Tour de France, but climbed from the east.
